賞する。The storage control member 33 provided in the notch of the surrounding frame 30 is constructed by inserting an arc-shaped plate into an arc-shaped through hole formed in the bottom surface 23, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. , drive arms 46.46 extending from both ends of the drive shaft 45 supported below the bottom surface 23 are loosely fitted into holes 47.47 provided in the lower part of the storage control member 33, and the drive arms 46 and The connecting arm 48 of the drive shaft 45 extending on the opposite side is connected to the plunger of the second solenoid 35. I want to, the second
When the solenoid 35 is demagnetized, the plunger rises due to the urging of the return link of the second solenoid 35, so the tips of the drive arms 46, 46 fall,
As a result, the storage control member 33 descends to a first state in which its upper end is located at the same level or lower than the upper surface of the bottom surface 23. Therefore, in this first state, the storage control member 33 does not prevent the balls in the ball storage section 31 from flowing down. And the second
When the solenoid 35 is energized, the drive shaft 45 is rotated in a direction in which the plunger descends and the tips of the drive arms 46, 46 ascend, resulting in a second state in which the storage control member 33 rises and projects above the bottom surface 23. Convert to In this way, when the storage control member 33 protrudes above the bottom surface 23, the storage control member 33 closes the outflow portion 29 of the surrounding frame 30, so the balls in the ball storage section 31 are stored and controlled regardless of the state of the rotating body 32. The ball is prevented from flowing down by the member 33 and waits within the ball storage section 31. When the second solenoid 35 is demagnetized, the storage control member 33 returns to the first state lower than the bottom surface 23 due to the bias of the return spring, and the balls in the ball storage section 31 flow out from the outflow section 29. The ball that flows out rolls on the bottom surface 23'2 and enters the special winning hole 19 or the general winning hole 2o.

′により規制している。Each legal stop and member 21 provided on the left and right sides of the general prize opening 20.20 has the upper end of a hook-shaped member rotatably supported by a support shaft 22, as shown in Fig. 1θ and Fig. 11. The two stopper shafts 49 and 49 extending rearward are connected to the third solenoid 3.
It faces above the regulating member 50 of No. 6. I want to, the third
When the solenoid 36 is demagnetized, the regulating member 5 is biased by the return link of the third solenoid 1-36.
0 and presses the stopper shafts 49 and 49, the legal stop member 21 is prevented from rotating and stops in the neutral state shown by the solid line in FIG. When the rotation of the legal stop member 21 is prevented in this way, even if a ball flowing down the surface of the game board 1 hits the legal stop member 21, as shown in FIG. Since the legal city member 21 does not rotate, the ball is bounced back and flows down with its direction changed to the direction shown by the one-dot chain line. It does not flow into the channel 51. On the other hand, the third
When the solenoid 36 is energized, the regulating member 50 descends and separates from the stopper shaft 49° 49, so that the legal stop member 2
1 or convert it to a state where it can rotate freely. If the ball flowing down in this state hits the legal stop member 21, the legal stop member 21
The lower end is rotated in the direction of moving inward by the flow force of the ball. Therefore, it becomes possible for the balls flowing down to push away the legal stop member 21 and flow into the guide flow path 51. Since the outlet of the lower guide flow path 51 opens above the first specific winning lower, the possibility that the ball flowing into the lower guiding flow path 51 will win the first specific winning lower is increased. That is, when the third solenoid 36 is energized and the legal stopping member 21 is changed to a swingable state, the probability of winning the first ej constant winning lower is temporarily increased, and the movable legal receiving member of the variable winning device 6 is activated. The probability of opening 15.15 is increased. The above-mentioned swing range of the legal stop member 21 is limited to the swing restriction hole 49 formed in the mounting board 11 and passing through the stopper shaft 49.49.
It is regulated by '.

When the ball enters the first specific winning lower, the second specific winning detector lO detects this ball and sends a signal to a control device (not shown). In addition to opening the .52 to the left and right to make it easier to accept the ball,
The first specific winning detector 9 detects this ball and sends a signal to the control device. Upon receiving the signal from the second specific winning detector lo, the control device activates the first solenoid 3 of the variable winning device 6.
4.34 is excited for a short time (for example, 0.5 seconds after the wait time of 0.8 seconds has elapsed) 2, and when a signal from the first specific winning detector 9 is received, the first solenoid 3
4.34 is excited twice for a predetermined period of time (for example, 0.8 seconds after a wait time of 0.8 seconds has elapsed). Therefore, when the ball enters the first specific winning lower, the left and right movable receiving members 15.15 of the variable winning device 6 are moved for 0.8 seconds.
When the rotation converts from the first state to the second state, and a ball enters the second specific winning hole 8, the movable method receiving member 15.15 converts from the first state to the second state for 0.5 seconds. .

When the ball changes from the first state to the second state, the ball that has flowed down inside the gaming section 3 flows down onto the movable support member 15.15, and this ball flows from the opening 12 of the mounting board 11 into the recessed chamber 24.
It enters the inner upper chamber 24a, rolls on the downstream shelf 25, passes through the inner communication passage 27, and falls into the lower chamber 24b. When a ball flows down the communication path 27, the ball detector 28 detects the ball and sends a counting signal to the control device. Since the balls that have entered the lower chamber 24b of the concave chamber 24 are located at the exit of the communication path 27 or above the ball storage section 31, most of the balls fall into the ball storage section 31 and are discharged from the outflow section. 29, rolls on the bottom surface 23 and enters either the special prize opening 19° or the general prize opening 20. When a ball enters the general winning hole 20, this ball flows out to the back side of the game board 1 and becomes a winning ball, but there is no change in the game state. On the other hand, if the ball is lucky enough to enter the special winning hole 19, the special winning detector 53 installed in the flow path extending from the special winning hole 19 detects the ball and issues a special game right to the control device. send a signal to that effect. The ball that entered the special winning hole 19 flows out to the back side of the game board 1 and becomes a winning ball.

器５５により遊技者に可視表示される。In the special game in this embodiment, first, the second solenoid 35 of the variable prize winning device 6 is energized to raise the storage control member 33, block the outflow part 29 of the ball storage section 31, and
The third solenoid 36 is energized to convert the legal stop member 21 into a state where it can freely swing, and the rotating body 32 is temporarily stopped at the initial position. In this embodiment, the initial position is set to a position where the rotating body 32 stops facing the longitudinal force of the rotating body 32 or the front-rear direction of the concave chamber 24 when the light shielding piece 43 acts on the motor switch 44. The setting is such that when the movable ball receiving member 15.15 starts the opening/closing operation, the rotating body 32 starts rotating again from the initial position. In addition, the second solenoid 35 and the third solenoid 36 must be energized throughout the special game, and as a result, the solenoid gradually heats up and its resistance increases, causing the suction force to weaken during the next suction. Due to the suction damage, the storage control member 33 cannot be raised or the legal stop member 21 cannot be freely swung. Therefore, in order to prevent such inconvenience, the control device of this embodiment controls the second solenoid 35 and the third solenoid 36 to be energized under CPU control.
The structure is such that a large amount of voltage is supplied during suction, and a small amount of voltage is supplied to maintain the state of each solenoid when suction ends and each plunger is maintained. Second
As shown in Figure 1, the second solenoid 35 and the third solenoid 36 are energized for 0.5 seconds and then repeatedly energized and demagnetized for a short period of time (for example, 0.04 seconds) to suppress heat generation. There is. After such a preparatory operation, the movable ball receiving member 15.15 of the variable prize winning device 6 converts from the first state to the second state a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time (for example, 18 times for 0.8 seconds). is one cycle, and during this cycle two
Alternatively, update the cycle on the condition that the ball enters the special winning hole 19 after the cycle ends, and enter the special winning hole 1.
If the ball does not enter 9, the special game is set to end at the end of the cycle regardless of the number of remaining cycles. Also, the cycle is updated a predetermined number of times (for example, 8
The cycle) can be updated, and the special game is set so that even if a ball enters the special winning hole 19 after that, the special game ends. The number of cycles during the special game is visually displayed on a cycle display 54 provided in the child ball receiving frame 18. In addition, if the number of winning balls in the variable winning bag 116 during a certain cycle reaches a predetermined value (for example, 10 balls), regardless of the remaining number of openings and closings of the movable ball receiving member 15. The cycle is set to end at this point. The number of balls that entered the variable winning device 6 in this cycle is visually displayed to the player by a winning number display 55 provided at the tip of the falling shelf 25.

２か更に回転すると。When the above-mentioned special game is started and the movable ball receiving member 15.15 of the variable prize winning device 6 starts the opening/closing operation, the balls received by the movable ball receiving member 15.15 are thrown into the upper chamber 24a in the concave chamber 24. These balls are introduced one after another into the communication path 2.
7, one by one is detected by the ball detector 28, and then one by one falls into the lower chamber 24b. Communication path 27
The balls that entered the lower chamber 24b from the outlet either fall into the ball storage section 31 on the bottom surface 23, or the rotating body 32 is rotating inside the ball storage section 31, and the storage control member 33 is rotated. The outflow portion 29 of the ball storage portion 31 is closed. I wanted to,
Most of the fallen balls are stored in a roughly semicircular area surrounded by the surrounding frame 30, the storage control member 33, and the rotating body 32, and after falling onto the upper surface of the rotating body 32, they bounce. The balls that roll and come out of the ball storage part 31 roll on the bottom surface 23 and enter the special winning hole 19 or the general winning hole 20°20. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, three balls are stored in the approximately /Z semicircular part of the ball storage part 31, so when this part is full, more balls can be stored in this part. The fallen ball rolls on top of the already stored balls and comes out of the ball storage section 31 and enters the special winning slot 19 or the general winning slot 20.
Enter 20. Further, the balls stored in the storage section continue to rotate along the surrounding frame 30 and the storage control member 33 due to the rotation of the one-rotator 32. When a ball enters the general winning hole 20, the ball flows out to the back side of the game board l and becomes a winning ball, or there is no change in the game content. On the other hand, when a ball enters the special winning hole 19, the special winning prize detector 53 detects this ball and sends a signal to the control device. Upon receiving this signal, the control device updates the cycle, demagnetizes the second solenoid 35, lowers the storage control member 33, and opens the outflow portion 29 of the ball storage portion 31. Therefore, the balls stored in the ball storage part 31 come out from the outflow part 29 and enter the special prize opening 19,
Or enter the general prize opening 20. In addition, in a certain cycle, if the ball does not enter the special prize opening 19 even if the movable receiving member 15.15 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times (18 times in this example), the control device The second solenoid 35 is set to be demagnetized. In this case as well, the balls stored in the ball storage section 31 come out of the outflow section 29 and enter the special winning hole 19 or the general winning hole 20. As shown in FIG. 12, if the storage control member 33 is lowered when it is located in the longitudinal direction of the rotating body 32 or in the front-rear direction of the concave chamber 24, the balls stored on both sides of the rotating body 32 will flow down. Therefore, these balls have a high probability of entering the left and right general winning holes 20°20. Further, as shown in FIG. 15, when the storage control member 33 is lowered when it is located in the longitudinal direction of the rotating body 32 or in the width direction of the concave chamber 24, it is moved into the approximately half-inner portion located on the outflow portion 29 side. As the three stored balls flow down at once, as shown in Figure 17, the probability is that the ball located in the center will enter the special prize opening 19, and the left and right balls will enter the general prize opening 20°20. expensive. Therefore, in the variable winning system, a predetermined number of balls (10 in this embodiment) win in η6, and the ball detector 28
If the cycle is set to end when the control device detects these balls and counts them up to a predetermined number, or if a predetermined number of balls have won in the cycle but have not yet entered the special prize opening 19. Even so, by storing the ball in the ball storage section 31 as described above and increasing the probability that the ball will enter the special winning hole 19, the possibility of updating to the first cycle is increased, which is advantageous for the player. You can continue playing the game. Then, when the cycle ends, the rotating body 3
2 or more rotations.

ることかできる。As shown in Fig. 19, the balls stored in the half-inner part on the opposite side of 1 flow out from the outflow part 29, so if the special prize 019 has not been won by then, after these There is a chance that the ball that has flown down from there will enter the special winning hole 19. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the feeling of anticipation for the special winning hole 19 acts more strongly than the conventional variable winning device 6, thereby significantly increasing the interest of the pachinko game.
I can do that.

For example, it may be lowered midway through the cycle when the time set on the timer on the control device has elapsed, or it may be lowered at any time by the player operating the external control unit on the front of the pachinko machine. may be configured. When the storage control member 33 is lowered by the player's external operation, 1
Since the rotating body 32 can be lowered in consideration of its position, it is possible to aim for a prize in the special prize opening 19.

められる。Also, during the above-described special game, the third solenoid 36 is energized, so that the legal stop members 21, 21 provided on the left and right sides of the lower part of the variable prize winning device 6 can freely swing. Therefore, if a ball flowing down beside the variable prize winning device 6 or a ball flowing diagonally downward hits the legal stop member 21 just when the movable legal receiving member 15.15 closes, this ball or the legal stop It becomes possible to push away the member 21 and flow into the guide flow downstream path 51. Therefore, during special games, the first
The probability of winning a specific prize winning lower is temporarily increased compared to the normal gaming state, and the movable ball receiving member 15 of the variable winning prize device 6
．． The probability that the special game right will occur after 15 days is increased.

For example, a recessed portion may be formed in the bottom surface 23 of the recessed chamber 24. Furthermore, even if the storage control member 33 provided in the outflow section 29 of the ball storage section 31 does not move up and down, it can control the flow of balls in the ball storage section 31 by operating an electric drive source. Any configuration may be used, for example, a plate or a bar may be moved in the left-right direction.
